I am a fifth-year graduate student working with Heidi Nepf in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT. My graduate research has focused on flow and transport relevant to aquatic plant canopies.  For my master’s thesis, I studied the propagation of lock-exchange flows through an array of randomly-distributed emergent cylinders, a model for emergent aquatic plant canopies.  In my doctoral work, I have been studying solute transport, specifically lateral dispersion, in random cylinder arrays.
